Wu Niang had finished her assignment long ago and stayed at the eldest lady's house every day. When Amber and the others went there, she was not there.

It was Ziwei who received them.

She served tea to the two of them with a smile: "Sister Amber is a rare guest!" There was intimacy in her tone, but no respect.

Before, Amber belonged to the eldest wife, but now, she belongs to Eleventh Lady's room... Everyone is the same. No, in terms of her respectability in front of the eldest wife, how can Eleventh Lady be compared to Fifth Lady!

Amber couldn't hear it.

But this is the way of the world...

She smiled faintly: "I originally wanted to ask Miss Wu to help me make a decision, but I didn't expect that Miss Wu went to the first wife's place!"

Ziwei was slightly stunned.

Amber explained, "You know, my young lady has not left her house lately, concentrating on embroidering the folding screen. This morning, the eldest lady called the sisters-in-law who were good at sewing to come and measure clothes for the eleventh young lady. Four silk dresses, six jackets, four embroidered skirts, one woven skirt, one moonlit skirt, plus four undergarments, four underpants, six pairs of shoes, and twelve pairs of socks... Sister Dongqing helped to take care of it in the past. This time, Sister Dongqing helped the eleventh young lady with the embroidery, and I didn't want to disturb her. I thought that the fifth young lady had the best vision, and even the eldest lady often asked the fifth young lady to help with the consultation when making new clothes, so I wanted the fifth young lady to give me some advice."

Ziwei looked at the smug look that flashed across Amber's expression and smiled coldly in her heart.

She's not here to ask for advice, she's clearly here to show off!

"Why not follow our young lady's instructions?" Ziwei's expression was indifferent. "This morning, the sisters-in-law who were good at sewing also came to Jiaoyuan, saying that they were ordered by the first lady to make spring clothes for the fifth young lady. They also made four silk clothes, six jackets, four embroidered skirts, a woven skirt, a moon-shaped skirt, plus four undergarments, four underpants, six pairs of shoes, and twelve pairs of socks. Our young lady went to see the first lady for this very matter - first, she wanted to kowtow to the first lady to thank her, and second, she wanted to hear what the first lady thought, what kind of texture and what color would be best." As she spoke, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, and smiled, "Speaking of which, sister Amber serves the first lady and is in charge of jewelry and clothes. It's not a big deal for her to help the eleventh young lady with her clothes!"

Bin Ju couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

Didn't everyone say that Amber was gentle and kind? How come she said such frivolous words when she came to Lujun Tower?

"I just wanted to ask what colors Miss Fifth has made." Binju smiled and continued, not wanting Amber to say anything offensive, "lest everyone repeat themselves, it will always be ugly."

Too.

Ziwei had an idea and smiled, "My young lady wants to make one silk dress each in moon white, madder red, pine green, and ginger yellow. The half-sleeves and jackets should match these colors, one rose red, one pomegranate red, one bright red, one grape purple, one grass green, and one lotus root color. As for the skirts, the embroidery skirts should be made in white. Two of them should have hems, and two should not. The hem skirts should be made in pea green, and the moonlight skirts should be made in true purple. As for the undergarments, underpants, shoes and socks, they should be the same as usual."

As she spoke, Binju secretly kept it in mind.

"Our young lady also wants to make two main waists and two moon-lit skirts." Ziwei's eyes flickered, "The eldest wife specifically asked the Liu family's sister-in-law to help make them."

Sister-in-law of the Liu family is the best needleworker in the Luo family.

"Speaking of which, it's also because our young lady doesn't have the best embroidery skills of the eleventh young lady, who is one of the best in Hangzhou Prefecture," Ziwei smiled, hiding her sleeves, "otherwise, why would she alarm the sister-in-law of the Liu family - she is the companion of our eldest young lady."

This is clearly telling them that what Miss Eleven has, Miss Five also has; and what Miss Five has, Miss Eleven may not have.

Binju's face turned green. But she didn't blame Ziwei for her sharp words, she only blamed Amber for her flamboyant personality.

"The Fifth Lady and our Lady learn from the same master, but our Lady likes needlework more, while your Lady likes calligraphy more." She smiled and said a few words to flatter the Fifth Lady, then stood up and said goodbye, "You are busy here too, we still have to help the Eleventh Lady choose the materials and colors!"

Ziwei didn't keep them and sent them out the door in a lukewarm manner.

On the way, Bin Ju thought of where Amber came from, so she had to suppress her anger and tactfully told Amber what had just happened: "...Our young lady has always been gentle, and when there are good things, she will naturally give them to her sisters first, especially these food and clothes, which she has never been particular about or valued."

Amber smiled and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't expect that an unintentional word would offend Sister Ziwei. She won't blame us, right?" She said it without any worry in her voice.

Bin Ju knew that she didn't take her words to heart, and sighed secretly in her heart.

I don't have the right to say that to her, but the young lady has the right to say that to her! But the young lady's most urgent task is to embroider the screen, so how can I distract her at this time? I'd better wait until the screen is embroidered first! If it really doesn't work, I'll just keep an eye on her more in the future.

In a flash, the two of them had already gone down the corridor.

Amber smiled and said to Binju, "Sister, if you have anything to do, please go back first! I'm going to visit my sister-in-law at the Liu family."

Bin Ju was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Amber smiled and said, "Didn't you say you would help the young lady pick out the material and color? How can you help the young lady choose if you don't go to the Liu family's sister-in-law to see what materials and colors are available?"

Bin Ju became anxious: "You know clearly that I am only saying polite words, how can you take it seriously? People in our house never go out, if you have anything to say, please go back and tell the young lady first."

Amber smiled and said, "Miss is devoted to making the screen. How can we worry about such a small matter?" Without waiting for Binju to speak, she turned around and hurried to the west, "Don't worry, sister. I'll be back soon!"

Bin Ju stamped her feet, rushed forward and dragged her back to Lujun Building: "I'm not stopping you, but I have to report it to the young lady!"

*

Eleventh Lady was embroidering a purse there.

Like Shiyi Niang, Dongqing was also embroidering purses.

As she embroidered, she complained: "Everyone knows that you are busy embroidering the folding screen this year, so no one will blame you for being rude if I don't give you one."

Ever since Eleventh Lady had made some progress in needlework, she would embroider a large number of purses before the Spring Festival every year and give them to the relatives of the Luo family who came to worship on the night of New Year's Eve.

Eleventh Lady smiled and said, "I am just tired of embroidering the longevity screen, so I just changed hands."

Dong Qing quickly put down the work in his hands and tried to help her lie down on the bed: "If you are tired, take a rest."

Just as Eleventh Lady was about to decline with a smile, the little maid came to report that Amber and Binju had arrived.

The two were startled and immediately stopped smiling. Eleventh Lady sat down in front of the embroidery frame, and Dong Qing lifted the curtain: "What's the matter?"

Binju and Amber came in and told Liu's sister-in-law that she was going to ask Shiyi Niang to change the color and material of the clothes that she had decided on that morning.

Eleventh Lady looked at Amber, whose face was bare, pondered for a moment, and asked her, "Why do you want to change it?"

Amber smiled and said, "Young lady, you are still small, and your skin is as delicate as cream, so I want to choose some silks with soft texture and elegant colors for you to wear as spring clothes..."

Before she could say anything, Shiyi Niang nodded and said, "You were originally the one in charge of clothes and jewelry in my mother's room, so you naturally have better taste than us. You are the one who makes the decision on this matter."

Amber smiled and responded.

Bin Ju sighed, "Miss, you don't know that Miss Wu's spring clothes are all brightly colored. If we follow Amber's advice and make all clothes with soft and elegant colors, wouldn't we be competing with Miss Wu? This is what you hate the most."

Eleventh Lady was startled when she heard this and asked Bin Ju, "What colors did Fifth Sister choose?"

Binju explained in detail.

Eleventh Lady laughed as she listened: "What do you have to worry about? Don't forget, this matter was all decided by Amber."

Binju had a vague understanding of what was going on, but still felt that this was a little inappropriate.

She hesitated and said, "But no matter what, she is in our house now. We can't let her barge in like this, right?"

Eleventh Lady smiled meaningfully after hearing this: "She won't barge in recklessly."

Bin Ju was about to say something, but Dong Qing, who was watching from the side, stepped forward with a smile and said, "The important thing now is to finish embroidering the screen in time. We can talk about the rest later!"

She naturally couldn't say anything more, so she knelt down and bowed before leaving. But she couldn't let it go, so she sat in the banquet hall and listened to the noise outside, wanting to ask about Hubo's visit to Liu's sister-in-law.

After a while, she heard Mother Xin greet someone: "Miss Amber, you're back!"

Binju stood up, adjusted her temples, and sat there quietly waiting for Amber to come in.

The footsteps gradually approached, but passed through the door.

Bin Ju was startled.

He stood up, lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Then I saw Amber turn around and go into the suite.

There is a staircase in the suite leading to Shi Niang's place upstairs.

Could it be that she is going to Miss Ten's place?

The thought flashed through her mind and she was secretly surprised. Thinking of what Amber had just said to Wu Niang, she felt that her guess was correct.

After hesitating for a moment, Binju followed.

Just after going up a few steps, she heard Amber's voice: "...I made twelve pairs of socks alone."

Then Baizhi forced herself to attend the socializing: "Miss Eleven is in her growing period, unlike our young lady, who does it every year and can't even fit her hands in a few boxes."

"Who doesn't need clothes?" Amber said with a smile, "I just want to add a few more for something new!"

"Yes!" Baizhi's voice was a little reluctant, "It's just that our young lady has a strange temper. Instead of making clothes, it's better to buy a few books to make her happy!"

"So, Miss Tenth didn't make clothes this time?" There was a hint of excitement in Amber's voice.

Bin Ju was furious when she heard this and called out to Amber downstairs: "The lady is waiting for your reply!"

Amber said nothing more and went downstairs with a smile.

Binju apologized to Baizhi with a guilty look on her face: "She is from the eldest wife's room..."

Before she could finish, Baizhi held her hand and said, "Don't say anything, sister. I know it in my heart."

"Maybe there's too much needlework to do, so we have to do it in batches." She couldn't help but comfort Baizhi, "In two days, the needlework people will come to measure Miss Ten's body."

Bai Zhi smiled bitterly, "The young ladies in the mansion all have their clothes custom-made. I was worried that they wouldn't make clothes for Miss Ten. But Miss Ten is the eldest, but Miss Eleven has surpassed her... We are already having a hard time, and I'm afraid our lives will be even harder in the future."

(The Zhou Hei Ya that the red envelope brought was delicious... She even went to the group gathering, I was so envious...)
